The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory
is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.
Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations
will occur Ú page 255.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral
Oil in the engine or damage may result.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first
few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This
should be considered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as a problem.

ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB system that
offers simple operation, and some additional
features that make the parking brake more
convenient and useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent
the vehicle from rolling while parked. Before
leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK.
You can engage the parking brake in two ways:
Manually, by applying the EPB switch.
Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake
feature in the Customer Programmable
Features section of the Uconnect Settings.
The EPB switch is located on the center console.
EPB Switch
To apply the parking brake manually, pull up on the
switch momentarily. Once the parking brake is fully
engaged, the Brake Warning Light in the
instrument cluster and an indicator on the switch
STARTING AND OPERATING
will illuminate. If your foot is on the brake pedal
while you apply the parking brake, you may notice
a small amount of brake pedal movement. The
parking brake can be applied even when the
ignition switch is OFF but the Brake Warning Light
will not illuminate; however, it can only be released
when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
The EPB Warning Light will illuminate if the EPB
switch is held for longer than 60 seconds in either
the released or applied position. The light will extin-
guish upon releasing the switch.
If the Auto Park Brake feature is enabled, the
parking brake will automatically engage whenever
the transmission is placed into PARK, or with a
manual transmission, when the ignition switch is
turned OFF. If your foot is on the brake pedal, you
may notice a small amount of brake pedal
movement while the parking brake is engaging.
The parking brake will release automatically when
the ignition switch is ON, the transmission is in
DRIVE or REVERSE, the driver seat belt is buckled,
and an attempt is made to drive away.
